The BIND DNS Server is used on the vast majority of name serving machines on the Internet, providing a robust and stable architecture on top of which an organization's naming architecture can be built. The resolver library included in the BIND distribution provides the standard APIs for translation between domain names and Internet addresses and is intended to be linked with applications requiring name service.

ATTENTION
Security Advisory against all ISC BIND releases prior to July 2008 - Upgrade Now!
Read more about query port randomization or forwarding your queries. See Documentation / References below for new DNSSEC materials. Training and Support contracts for BIND are now available! BIND S/W Versions and Support BIND4/BIND8 Unsuitable for Forwarder Use If a nameserver -- any nameserver, whether BIND or otherwise -- is configured to use ``forwarders'', then none of the the target forwarders can be running BIND4 or BIND8. Upgrade all nameservers used as ``forwarders'' to BIND9 . There is a current, wide scale Kashpureff-style DNS cache corruption attack which depends on BIND4 and BIND8 as ``forwarders'' targets. See the BIND Security Matrix for security-related information.
